Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureC
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Dolphins.

The Dolphins spent real capital to be 80 picks early on Joe Huber, and the board is going to hold them to it. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

The Winston Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and linebacker still on the board. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

If Walter Nolen and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
They took Walter Nolen at par in pick No. 16, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
The board had cheaper options than Alfred Collins at slot 48, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A straight-up fair deal on Andrew Mukuba at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A curious use of No. 98. Edge rusher and linebacker needed the pick; a safety in Kevin Winston Jr. did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle McCord. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in the 135th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
No drama and no debate, O'Donnell Fortune went about where he belonged in pick No. 150. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A wild overpay on Raheim Sanders in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at slot 224 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They talked themselves into Hayden Conner at pick 231, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Joe Huber
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Huber this early at the 253rd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
